readx;? Before entering the city, Liu Qingfeng and I made a simple transfiguration, this time I went north, I had a few high-grade masks in my arms, in case of emergency, but I thought that not many people knew us anyway, just glued some beards, sideburns, eyebrows slightly changed. www.biquge.info In this way, the two of us looked like they were thirty years old, changed into merchant clothes, and hid Lu Long and Chixiao on the teacart.

As one of the three cities bordering Daming in the south of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xingchen City is far more deserted than Yanmen and Liaodong, and the junction of the two countries, although there are many rights and wrongs, it is an excellent way for business travel and smuggling, but first, there is more friction between Xuanfu and Xingchen City, and secondly, there are red castles in the middle, left and right Ningwei and other rogues coveted, so as the three major border trade cities, Xingchen City is not prominent.

When they came to the city gate, they saw that the city gate was heavily guarded, and a number of merchants, rangers, and people lined up outside the city, preparing to cross. Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty realized trade, postal and shipping between the two countries 30 years ago, a number of profit-chasing merchants traveled back and forth between the two countries, reselling some popular materials and earning a lot of profits.

Of course, for some knights who have traveled the world, or students who travel to study, the Shendu City of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is also a must-visit.

It is rumored that in that year, a generation of great Confucian Shen Junru, driving an ox cart, went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty from the Central Plains to give lectures, and was excluded by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This is also the only land immortal in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, for a hundred years, everyone has looked up, and even Emperor Wu is nameless.

It's just that although Shen Junru got the avenue, Confucianism did not spread in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his students fled and died in the later Northern Zhou Dynasty Confucianism extermination movement, but the big locust tree in the Shendu City has become a holy place for students in the Central Plains, and there is an endless stream of students who go to Shendu every year.

A pale soldier, who looked chronically malnourished, with a brush in his hand and without raising his head, asked, Name?

The two of us handed over the road guide that had been prepared earlier, Qin Sanqing, and Liu Guanfeng.

Gender?

Liu Qingfeng said, can't you see clearly?

Why do you talk so much nonsense and don't answer the next one.

I even said that the official should not be angry, and even handed over a Chinese, male, female-loving.

As soon as the soldier raised his head, he said impatiently, I asked you something, and you answered something. Where did you come from and where are you going?

I said where I came from, where I went.

The soldier slapped the table and went out, next!

Liu Qingfeng said Don't be angry, we are merchants from the Central Plains, and we pulled a cart of tea and sent it to Shendu. The soldiers sighed, and according to the old rules, they raised 30% as tariffs.

I said official, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, this thirty percent, a bit too much? The soldier knocked on the table and sneered, thirty percent is to give you face, if you are long-winded, take fifty percent.

The sound was a little loud, someone in the next room opened the curtain and came in, just three children, what was so loud. The man was wearing a Northern Zhou military uniform, and he was holding a small teapot in his left hand, which was probably the small leader here.

Gangsan said that these two people came to Da Zhou to do business, and they refused to pay taxes, so in my opinion, they may be spies of the Ming Dynasty. I said in my heart that you are really accurate, Dengwen Yuan was born, but he is not a spy. But he said, "Two officials, we are great good citizens." You see, this is an order from Shendu City to purchase tea from us.

The man picked up the order, glanced at it, snapped, the small teapot fell to the ground, stepped forward and slapped Gang San'er, you don't have long eyes, you things on Zuoxian Wangfu, you dare to stretch out your hand?

Gang San'er covered his face

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) shouting injustice, boss, I also do things according to the rules.

In the Great Zhou, King Zuo Xian is the rule! You don't want to die, I still want to live for two more years. If you don't let it go quickly, Gangsan was beaten for some reason, and signed and sealed the paperwork, and we can be regarded as having passed the test.

The leader came to the two of us and said, Lu Xingzhou, the general of Lower Star City, the two brothers have the surname Gao?

Liu Qingfeng said that he was not happy.

Lu Xingzhou said embarrassedly, I asked the two Gao surnames?

I informed my name, Lu Xingzhou was very courteous, and he had to invite the two of us to dinner, but we couldn't refuse, and followed him to have a meal in Star City.

It turned out that after Lu Xingzhou learned that our tea was given to King Zuo Xian for purchase, and it was used to entertain guests at the Northern Zhou Ghost Festival at the end of next month, he moved his mind and wanted to establish a relationship with King Zuo Xian through the two of us.

During the banquet, Lu Xingzhou vigorously talked to the two of us and asked who we were familiar with in the Zuoxian Palace.

Liu Qingfeng is not ashamed, to be honest, I have a lifelong friendship with the son of King Zuoxian, and the last time Zuo Gongzi came to the Central Plains, I took him to heaven and earth to consume.

Lu Xingzhou wondered, Zuo Gongzi?

Where did Liu Qingfeng know what the name of Zuo Xian's prince was, but his brain turned quickly, saying that this was his pseudonym when he was in the capital, and he was used to it.

Lu Xingzhou was suspicious and even persuaded to drink.

I sneered in my heart, this Lu Xingzhou is also sophisticated, after learning that we sent tea to King Zuoxian, he was very courteous, and it didn't take long for him to call us brothers, not wanting to establish a relationship with King Zuoxian's Mansion through us.

The people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were aggressive and addicted to alcohol, and they were more aggressive when they were drunk, and countless people died every year due to drunken brawls. In addition, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was cold in winter, and it was not uncommon for drunk to freeze to death on the side of the road, so the Northern Zhou Dynasty court banned the production of liquor above 48 degrees.

After Liu Qingfeng agreed to invite Prince Zuo Xian to come to Star City as a guest, Lu Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Qingfeng said, Brother Lu, although there is no shortage of silver when I go north this time, I still have a little bit of money to deal with Zuo Gongzi.

Lu Xingzhou said, it's easy to talk about silver, but I'm afraid you don't want silver. Five thousand taels, do you see enough? Liu Qingfeng's eyes are round, but he is holding a shelf, five thousand taels, this ......

Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth, 10,000 taels.

Liu Qingfeng said Okay, I'll try to talk about it, do you want to write you an IOU?

Lu Xingzhou said, no need, the two of them are on the road, their names, places of origin, and addresses are very clear, and I have many friends in the Central Plains, so I guess you two will not be repaid.

I secretly thought that this Lu Xingzhou is really good, the rules of the rivers and lakes, the money is collected, and if he doesn't do anything in the future, it will be a punishment of three knives and six holes, but he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet, and when he meets Liu Qingfeng, he deserves to be unlucky.

Drunk, Lu Xingzhou arranged accommodation.

On the second day, we said goodbye to the land boat and prepared to go on the road.

Walking in the city of stars, the architectural style here is very different from the capital and Xiliang, the houses are mostly round vaulted roofs, quite Byzantine style, only to walk around, Liu Qingfeng fell in love with the air-dried beef in the city, this is different from the Central Plains practice, four or five catties of beef out of a catty of jerky, quite chewy.

Liu Qingfeng took out five thousand taels of silver tickets, and said that he would divide half of the one side, don't say that I am not interesting enough, I said that this is what you deserve for your labor, and I will not take it for myself. Liu Qingfeng said, it's okay to put it safe with me, otherwise one day you will have an impulsive consumption, and your hard-earned money will be gone. I said that you fooled people and were embarrassed to say that it was hard work to make money liu qingfeng said disdainfully this

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is in exchange for life.

The two made a windfall, Liu Qingfeng said that he wanted to celebrate, the two came to a noodle restaurant, asked for two bowls of spicy noodles, and discussed things about going north while eating.

I said, since Yuan Jingang is a member of the Northern Zhou royal family, it must be in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not difficult to find him, but we have just finished slaughtering Yan Yan, and he will probably not let us go.

Liu Qingfeng said, I have already inquired with Lu Xingzhou, after Wan Yanwan learned that his cub was killed by the two of us, Thunder was furious, and sent more than thirty killers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Central Plains to avenge his son. Where did he think that after the two of us slaughtered people, not only did they not hide, but they swaggered to Northern Zhou, haha!

At that time, although Liu Qingfeng reported the names of Murong Baiyun and Li Boyang, it is estimated that it is not difficult to find out that the two of us are the culprits, and I began to regret a little that I didn't slaughter several of Yan Yan's subordinates that day, which led to the current trouble.

The territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, long and narrow from east to west, from Xingchen City to Shendu, but also to the northwest direction of ** hundred miles, passing through several major forces on the way, nominally, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a monarchical empire, but the major cities are controlled by different nobles. They only had to pay very low taxes every year, nominally obeying Emperor Zhou's arrangement.

Seven or eight Jianghu customers came to the store, each of whom shouted a bowl of somen noodles, silent, not much speech, bowed his head to eat noodles, looking at the dress, hairstyle and weapons, it should be a person from the rivers and lakes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The two of us ate almost, and were about to check out and leave, when a pair of men and women came outside the door, the man was in the wind, at ease, and the woman was graceful, like a peerless beauty.

Liu Qingfeng's eyes straightened, I said that you have a girlfriend, why do you still look obsessed. Liu Qingfeng handed over a tissue, Sanguan, can you wipe the nosebleed first. I said I've been eating spicy lately.

As soon as the two came, seven or eight Jianghu guests were immediately alert, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the man at the head signaled everyone not to move. I thought about these two people, they seem to have good martial arts, but I don't know where they are, especially this woman, it is estimated that they can have a fight with Shen Luoyan.

The man said, what does Fairy Xie want to eat?

As soon as Fairy Xie came out, the seven or eight people trembled. I don't know much about the rivers and lakes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Xiaosheng rivers and lakes rarely involve the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This Xie Fairy is estimated to be an extraordinary person in the Northern Zhou Jianghu.

Fairy Xie looked at the tattered tables in the room, frowned, and said, I am used to eating in brocade clothes and jade since I was a child, how can I eat in such a simple noodle restaurant? But it matters seriously, boss, come to three bowls of noodles.

The seven or eight people secretly paid and were about to leave, Fairy Xie slapped the table, before this girl finished eating, you sat there obediently, maybe this girl was in a good mood and spared your life.

Three bowls of noodles came up, the man was about to get a bowl, Fairy Xie pushed him, these three bowls are mine, you have to order it yourself. Talking, picking up chopsticks, hula hula and eating happily.

The man said, "Didn't you say it's important to get down to business?"

Fairy Xie said yes, eating is a serious matter. The rest isn't worth mentioning, man, two heads of garlic.

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, he laughed and whispered to me, the rivers and lakes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are really interesting, there are even fairies who eat garlic in the world!

I teased, what's wrong with the fairy eating garlic? Don't you, a hero, also sell skewers shirtless, people only have different positions, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Although the voice was very low, that Fairy Xie heard it, and with a shake of the chopsticks in his hand, a noodle shot out of the bowl and hit Liu Qingfeng's noodle door.
